[title] => Happy Birthday, Mom - Part VII
[time] => 2019-08-02 11:47:06
[hometext] => Dedicated to Agnes Greene-Johnson (1948-2013) who passed away on March 6, 2013. (Note: I will post Parts IV, V and VI later today and tomorrow.)
[bodytext] => The people who knew you, know that I was very fortunate to be your son. If you hadn/'/t passed away, today you would/'/ve become seventy-one. Another year has passed and another birthday has come around. Seven years ago, you were alive and well but now you/'/re buried in the ground. When my brother didn/'/t buy you a birthday cake in 2012, I bought you one. It was both a privilege and an honor to buy you a cake and to be your son. When you died in 2013, I damn nearly fell apart. I had to lick my wounds and nurse a broken heart. We were both born in August and your life is something that I still rejoice. It was difficult to say goodbye and let you go but sadly, I had no choice. I wasn/'/t close to Dad or my brother so I had nobody to turn to for support. Happy Birthday Mom, when you died at the age of 64, your life was cut too short.
